What Research Tells Us About Reading Counts-
Reading achievement is positively related to the amount of time students spend reading.
Students develop vocabulary and concept knowledge through extensive reading.
The best way to strengthen reading skills and foster the reading habit is to see that students get reading practice with books that are carefully selected and matched to their reading level and interests.
Motivation is essential for maintaining students' sustained attention to reading.
To build comprehension skills, students should read widely, respond to questions, and talk about what they've read.
Helping struggling readers requires a supportive literacy environment as part of a carefully planned intervention program.
Families and communities have an important role in helping students become successful readers.
Assessment and evaluation are necessary to monitor student progress and adjust instruction.
While students who achieve various point levels with 80% average receive dog tags and recognition each six weeks, the primary goal of the Reading Counts program is to improve reading skills and increase reading success.
